Them There Eyes

One of the most distinctive features of Amelia, a young lady I was acquainted with, were her eyes. They were big and just seemed to be filled with so much and character, they were akin to the “Eyes of God” watching over the industrial town in Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby only without the specs. For a while I did use that analogy when choosing the cover photo on my Facebook profile, but after a while several friends including Amy, Beth and Katherine pointed out that close up and isolated they kind of looked creepy as if they were being watched in a more sinister way, so I changed them to Peter Capaldi’s fierce eyes and attack eyebrows.
